DRAFTS"

Excuses in our youth are drafts upon our
old age, payable with interest about thirty
years after date. Any thoughtful man who
has watched his investment has discovered
that sometimes the interest is nearly as much
as the principal. Evil has a pernicious way
of begetting itself-multiplying. If you plant
a thistle seed in your garden it will not only
reproduce itself but it will bring with it a
thousand others OF its kind. And OF some
autumn afternoon you will see little silken
balloons noiselessly ascending out of you
garden, each bearing away into the azure II
tiny seed, later on to TALL into anu become II
pest in another mans garden. Thu moral is
plain. Plant no seed in youth whose bios
som and fruit will not be a delight in after
years. when you come to us to be CLOTHED
we drop a seed into your life that will become
a PERPETUAL BLOSSOM.

train, but was struck, it is supposed by
one of the car steps. Mr.. Walter Will
hanson, who was returning from the de-
pot after the train stopped, heard him
groaning as he lay in the ditch, and not
being able to tell who it was in the dark
ness notified the train men IN the suppo-
sition that it was some one who had fall
len from the train. Drs. Eddy and SUIT
ton were summoned and cared for Mr..
Abbey, who was taken to his home. He
is getting on we'll. The force of the
blow may be imagined from the fact that
a silver dollar in the right trousers pock-
ct was bent nearly double and two keys
of a bunch he carried were iammed out
of shape.
a local correspondent writes; A. j.
Marshall, Esq, who is n of the trus-
tees of our village, has been by them ap-
pointed to attend to our roads and walks.
He proves to be a very judicious and
practical official. Apetition was circula-
ted last fall and was numerously signed by
citizeus living upon seymour street ask
ing that the walk in front of Mr.. Battells
premises be continued across a piece of
vacant land near Mrs. Sheldon's to the
railroad crossing. The petition was ia
bled until another board was elected this
spring, and now the much-needed work
has been done. Since its completion we
hear nothing but praises-everybody
wonders why it was not done before,
In this connection we would also men,
ton another great Improvement that Mr..
Marshall has accomplished that is, the
grading up of the road-bed and making
a good piece of walk in the cross-road
from Seymour street to the Methodist
church, which was termed sometimes
the slough of despond." Some feeble
attempts have been made before, but
nothing that seemed a permanent benefit,

A Eascinatfng Detective.

A dashing young clerk In a brokers'
Office recently had some experience with a
pretty, vivacious girl attached to a private
detective bureau. He was living at a
more rapid gait than his salary warranted
After two male detectives had failed to
get into the young swell's confidence the
pretty operator took the case. 1t was a
delicate, not to say hazardous, undertak-
ing. The most difficult step was making
the clerks acquaintance without exciting
his suspicious, but she accomplished that
by buying some stocks and opening an
account in the Office. After few visits
and an encouraging smile or two, the
clerk suggested visit to the theatre
The invitation WAS accepted and the lady's
address given, and after that there were
champagne suppers, the opera and a gen
eral good time. The fact that the young
man was spending too much money was
soon evident, and one evening he called at
his charmer's boarding house to learn that
she had gone away, leaving no message or
address
But in the course of the investigation
the pretty detective had also discovered
that the culprit was a generous chap and
not a Lad fellow in the main, although
rather reckless, and she had begun To like
him more than she cared to own To herself
So she induced the broker To promise that
he would make no public exposure but
would tell the culprit of the error of his
course and give him a chance to make
restitution. That rapid young man Is not
yet aw@rc that his detection and his par
don were both due to the mysterious and
fascinating speculator in stocks who
shared his charnPagne suppers and sud
denly disappeared. New York Cor.

Port Huron intends to advertise itself.
A movement Is ON foot IN the city
among business members and property
owners to boom the city.
On Monday the following circular was
sent to large number Of business men
of the city.
PORT HURON, April 10.
DEAR SIR;-You are earnestly re-
quested to meet a number of our bust
ness men and property holders at the
Savings Bank on Tuesday evening,
April IL, to take into consideration the
best means of advancing the prosperity
of our city.
As a result of the call about thirty of
the leading capitalists and business men
of Port Huron were present at the meet
ing.
Mayor Martsuf was elected chairman.
and predicted brilliant future for Port
Huron. Short speeches were made by G.
F. Harrington, Jacob Haynes. Ezra c.
Carleton, Edgar White, William Jenkin-
son. John G. O'Neill, Fred L. Wells, John
e. Johnston, William Canham and i. ID.
Carleton. They were IL the opinion that
Port Huron had reached a period where
it was bound to grow, and all advocated
some kind of an association to advance
its prosperity.
After informally discussing the situa-
ton for about two hours a committee
was appointed to draft constitution and
bylaws and to present at the next meet
ing such suggestions as they think best
as to the best means to pursue in the
matter of bringing Port Huron to the
front. The committee consists of Ezra
L. Carleton. Henry Howard, William
JenkinsOn, c. +. Harrington and John
u. O'Neill.
The general feeling among those pres
ent was that real estate exchange
ought to be established i'm Port Huron,
and all property suitable for manufac-
turing purposes placed on the market at
a price that will induce capitalists to To-
cate here.
The next meeting will probably be
held ON Friday evening of this week.
We predict for Port Huron during the
coming year a genuine boom.

THE crescent CITY FIRE.
Our Correspondents Give Fuller Part
ularp - the Y1ro.

Our Correspondents Give Fuller PArtic-
ulars - the Ylrs.
An esteemed correspondent furnishes
us with the following additional partic-
ulars of the fire which occurred in that
place on Friday night:
The fire was first discovered in a small
alley between the stores of Pierce & Bur
ton and Douglass & Sacketts. These
houses, with their contents, were soon
burned to the ground. So rapid We're
the flames that Douglass & Sackett could
not save their cash drawer, in which was
about $500 in money. which was a total
loss. j. r. Pierce's storehouse, standing
near, next caught. The lower floor was
used by Pierce & Burton as a storeroom
the upper floor was occupied by the
Crescent City Gazette. Most of
the stuff on the lower floor
was saved and a portion of the type Of
Guzetfe. The vacant storeroom and
warehouse, formerly occupied by Beach
& Miller, was next burned; when the
flames crossed Central avenue to the
store of Beach & Miller, which, with the
entire stock of goods, was consumed.
They saved a part of their books in a
damaged condition. The vacant store
of w. c. Braddock and the drug store of
Dr. G.. F. Sprague, with the most of his
stock of drugs, was burned, when the
Central Hotel caught and was the last
building to be consumed.
The fire was no doubt the work of an
incendiary, says our correspondent.
The loss was about SET, 900, as follows:
Pierce & Burton, stock about, - 800,
with 81 200 insurance. Mrs. Jennie
Coleman, store building, $500, insur-
ance 81 900.
Douglass & Sackett, stock, $500;
III. Douglass, store house, $1,000.
j. II. Pierce, store house, 81 600.
Gazette office and fixtures 81 600. Ed
itor Allen is absent, but it is thought
| that his insurance is $500.
Beach & Miller, two stores and entire
| stock, 5000, with about 81, 500 insur-
ance.
G.. F. Sprague, drug store and stock.
about 81 500; no insurance.
Central Hotel occupied by Mrs Cheat
ham and owned by T. III. Braddock,
| 81, 800. Mrs. Cheatham saved much of
her furniture.
This cleaned up the business portion
| of the town, with the exception of Kemp
| Bros. & Co. and III. Il. Gilmore.
The citizens, white and black, worked
very hard to save the town. but their
| efforts proved fruitless. We are re-
quested to publish the following
CARD.
l hereby return my sincere thanks to
my friends and neighbOrs, who by hard
and unselfish work saved my residence
on the night of the fire in Crescent City.

The season of SWEET and melt has ar
rived.
Yesterday will take the cake for
disagreeableness. The sand was blown
over and into everything.
Police circles are very quiet for the
past few days. Monday is usually very
lively day in the Mayors Court, and
yesterday there was not a case to be
tried
Mr.. j. b. Williams, who was the con-
tractor for building the large hotel at
Punta Gorda, has finished his work and
the hotel is now complete and ready for
occupancy. The hotel is n very fine
building and will no doubt be crowded
with guests from all parts of the country
next season.
Nessrs. j. l.. Burton brought us yes
terday lot of oranges fresh from his
grove at Crescent City that are as good,
heavy and juicy as any we have eaten
this season. The oranges have hung on
the trees until the last day or two, and
they are remarkably preserved for so
late in the season.
Quite brisk wind sprang up yester-
day morning, sweeping up the dust in
the streets in great quantities and dis
tributing it in the stores, eyes, ears,
noses and mouths of the pedestrians,
: much TAI their disgust. Some arrange
ment should be made to sprinkle the
streets during the dry seasons of the
summer
The excursion to st. Augustine Sun
day over the st. Augustine and Palatka
Railway, was one of the largest that
has ever gone from this city. Fully one
hundred and seventy-five people went

home ON account of the crowded condi-
ton Of the cars. About forty of the ex-
sursionists came over from Daytona.
Sunday proved to be one of the live
hest days ever known at the junction of
the st Johns and Halifax Railroad. The
steamer Georgia brought down a large
excursion party bound for the Halifax,
the ferry-boat Armsmear was there look
ing after the regular passenger traffic,
and the ferry-boat Louise was also pres
ent to take the passengers bound for st.

He has been very sad and quiet since he
was sentenced. and yesterday asked
Sheriff Zehnbar for Bible, and re-
quested that he be locked in a cell alone,
where he could pray and prepare for the
death that he will soon be compelled to
meet. He has very little to say to his

realizes that his days on earth are to be
very short
